Chapter 653： searchlight (2/2)

I saw a huge light shining on the top of the rock mountain in the distance.

The searchlights of this era are also quite far away, especially such large searchlights that search the sea surface, which can shine more than ten nautical miles!

Moreover, the searchlight was still towards them, searching for it!

Moreover, there is actually more than one!

A dozen searchlights were distributed on the top of the entire Yanshan Mountain, all shining towards them. With the beam of light shining, they were swayed so that they could not see anything.

It's just a matter of minutes.

Now, before dawn, there is still half an hour.

”Naval gun, fire immediately and kill those searchlights!” General Suer shouted loudly.

In night battles, searchlights are a good helper. For example, in dealing with air raids at night, searchlights and antiaircraft artillery units cooperate with each other. The searchlights catch the aircraft, just like the stars on the stage. You can fire.

It's the same now.

If you let these searchlights illuminate your own warships, then the shore artillery here can be aimed at your own side, which is absolutely impossible! So, just blast off these searchlights!

This is an accident. The shelling that was originally planned to be launched at dawn was forced to advance.

For the British, this was also an accident.

They originally deployed the radar, but unfortunately, because of the interference on the other side, they thought that the radar was broken, so the radar soldiers were already asleep, waiting for the engineers to repair them.

However, this does not mean that they have no defense.

The Strait of Gibraltar is a strategically important place. Here, they must always beware of German submarines from sneaking in. After all, whether the sea power of the Mediterranean can be guaranteed now depends on the gate.

Therefore, in addition to radar, they have also arranged underwater sounders in the sea to monitor the sounds of submarines under the water.

As a result, the sound of the submarine was not heard, but the noise of the propeller of the ship on the water was heard.

They didn't care about it at first, but found that the noise was getting louder and louder, so the British defenders finally couldn't help it and decided to search the sea with a searchlight to see what was on the sea.

This kind of searchlight deployed on the top of the mountain is as high as one person, and a searchlight squad is responsible. The beam of light is like a treasure knife, splitting the dark night sky and heading to the opposite side.

The beam of light finally landed on the sea ~~ and moved slowly. On the base of the searchlight, there were two soldiers slowly turning. This thing was completely controlled manually.

One tube is pitched and the other is azimuth. The two are slowly turning. The squad leader with the best eyesight catches the situation on the sea through a telescope. Even if it is a periscope, he will find it!

”Stop!” Suddenly, he shouted loudly.

In his vision, a big guy appeared.

Not a submarine, nor an ordinary freighter, what he saw in his pupils was a terrifying huge battleship! What the searchlight illuminates is a huge naval gun, a quadruple barrel, and a black hole barrel, pointing towards him!

”Quickly, report to the company commander and find the French warship!”

There are no other four guns except France! And just after he had said this sentence, all his retina was filled with hot flames.

The other party, fired!
